Summer is waning, and so are parts of my garden. Something is always growing, and something is always dying. It has had its moments of full glory: sweet peas going off in all of their colors, the sunflowers still unmolested by squirrels, the sage blooming and bringing in the hummingbirds. I've mentioned before that I am relatively new to the whole gardening thing, and I am just now starting to recognize that in a garden, it's not really all about having this perfectly beautiful, perfectly growing space like you might see in a magazine. It's all about change. And death. And growth. All at the same time. When it all comes together and everything is thriving, it just doesn't last that long, and you have to enjoy it while it is there. I'm not going to lie and day this has made me a better person who has learned how to enjoy being in the moment, because I'm still working on that.It has made me see that the garden is just another extension of life: always in flux, rarely perfect.

about the ACGA

The Association of Clay and Glass Artists of California is dedicated to establishing and maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and design in clay and glass. The ACGA began as the Association of San Francisco Potters in 1945. We now have over 500 members including clay and glass artists, students, patrons and supporters, galleries, network organizations and corporate sponsors from throughout California.

A primary goal of the ACGA is to provide opportunities for our members to exhibit and sell their work. The Association regularly presents museum and gallery exhibitions of clay and glass, and we will be presenting the annual Clay and Glass Festival on July 13 & 14, 2013 at the Palo Alto Art Center.
